French commissioners sent to end the revolt would end up embracing it instead

Evidence

A new set of commissioners was sent to Saint-Domingue to apply this decree, and given the power to dissolve the existing assemblies and oversee the formation of new, racially integrated ones. Like the commissioners sent in 1791, they faced the daunting task of bringing order to a colony at war with itself. Unlike those who preceded them, however, they would use their power against that of the white planters of Saint-Domingue and ally themselves with the newly enfranchised free-coloreds. But in the end the commissioners would carry out a mission very different from that which they had been handed. Accompanied by a law and by a convoy of troops meant to put an end to the slave insurrection, they would instead end up embracing it and its demand for liberty. — Dubois, Laurent, Avengers of the New World_ The Story of…, 447
